The King of Pop, Michael Jackson, lived out his legendary status while he was still alive. While he confronted many controversies during his life, including being accused of child molestation, he continued to maintain his innocence. At one point, he did publicly disclose that he would be attending rehab for an addiction to pain medication, however, the public never knew the seriousness of his addiction until after his death.

In 2009, when Michael was 54 years old, it was announced that he had passed away. Later it was revealed that he paid a staff doctor to regularly inject him with Propofol, an anesthetic which is used during surgery. Ultimately the consistent use of this drug caused Michael’s death and his doctor, Conrad Murray, was subsequently put on trial. Allegedly, Michael’s last words were “More milk,” a phrase he used to refer to Propofol.
